This is my internal ramblings that occurred while learning how to deploy a Red Hat OpenStack Platform 17.0 cluster for NFV integration testing. Big picture Here is what I will be working with: 1G access to an external/management network. 10G top of rack switch. 3 Dell r640 servers (labelled as hypervisor, compute1 and compute2). Each server with an Intel X710 4x10G NIC. First port is connected to the 1G management network. The BMCs of compute1 and compute2 are connected to that network. The other three ports are connected to a private 10G switch. Each port is configured as trunk with VLANs 400-409. Ports eno2 are configured with a native VLAN 400 as well. These ports will be used for the control plane network (PXE boot provisioning, openstack services internal traffic, etc.) Physical topology This represents the physical layout of machines and switches. ...
